Alas, poor me! Shakespeare's skull is thought to be missing from his grave at the Church of the Holy Trinity and Stratford-Upon-Avon, England. Um... Ok... On December 12, 1932, Time reported that a woman in Norfolk, England, had a collection of spoons made from her late husband's fingernails and toenails! The Tuatara, a lizardlike reptile, as a third eye on top of its head!
